I'd like to go to the past and visit with my great-greats right down to the ones who first came to the new world! See how they lived and what they were like. Who was the first one to learn about Jesus and pass that legacy on to the rest of us. Going to the future? Hmm, maybe just see how all my grands and their families turn out and if a solar flare or EMP ever did hit and did we have to go back to no electricity days or what new gadgets had been invented.

EB, please.
If I could be a character in a book, I would be Aristotle. Would love to have
lived in his age and have been intelligent enough to come up with sayings such as:
" Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work. "
" It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. "
These are two quotes that life has proved to be very true.
It must have been remarkable to be able to come up with quotes that have been
passed down through the ages.
Thanks for your consideration.

I would love to travel back in time to the time Jesus walked the earth and see Him. Then I would travel to the time my great grandparents lived and raiswd thwir families so I could meet them and learn more about my family history.

I would like to be Anne in Anne of Green Gables. She was so smart and creative and had a great view of life.

4. I would like to meet past ancestors; I did not know my grandparents on my father's side. In the future it would be great to see how the younger ones in the family now turn out and the lives that they have.
